(16,716 posts)What Donald Trump admires is the familial dynasties of Dictatorial rulers. Like those of history who passed down to an heir, the family business of ENRICHING themselves and imposing harsh rules for the rest to live under. THAT is what is called a KLEPTOCRACY. Stealing from others to enrich their prospects at the expense of everyone else. Trump is STEALING our Tax Dollars in any way he can right out in the open. The Press is reporting that and Trump wants to put a stop to that.
The 1st Amendment to the US Constitution calls for Freedom of the Press as the 5th Estate to assure checks and the balances of Government. Good Press or no, accurate reporting is vital to the health and future of this Republic and its Democratic institutions in normal times.
But we are NOT living in "normal times". The United States under Donald Trump, is slowing embarking on a dictatorship where corruption, lies, revoking of certain unalienable rights, a violation of the rule of law, and that of the US Constitution occurs on a daily basis, MUST be reported on. Philip Rucker and Ashley Parker of the Washington Post have done that job of honest journalism to the highest order. They should not be silenced, nor have their WH Press Pass Credentials revoked. THAT is what Trump is considering because they report the TRUTH that HE does not like.
